I slept and dreamt that life was joy

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I woke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

For the next week, each morning when you wake, ask: “How can I be of service today?” Whatever happens throughout your day, rather than facing your tasks with dread or fear, consider them as a potential act of service. Be open and alert to the process, and consider each act in your life to be an act of service to those you love, to the world, to Creator.
